Boston

Show your students the historic side of Boston. Enjoy college campus tours or the music of the Boston Pops and Boston Symphony Orchestra. Take them along the Freedom Trail on a journey through American Revolutionary history, starting at Bunker Hill and ending at America's oldest city park, Boston Common. Your students will also have the opportunity to travel through the modern metropolis with trips to the John Hancock Tower and Prudential Center Skywalk. Home of famous artists and literary figures, students can explore the roots of many of America’s artistic giants while touring historical sites such as Thoreau’s Walden Pond. Also, don’t forget to find some time to whale watch off the coast!

New England Aquarium & Whale Watching
